QuantumBiology

It’s only fitting, considering the name of this site. There is new data in the field of QuantumBiology, that is foreshadowing staggering discoveries in the fields of nanotechnology and artificial intelligence. We may be on the cusp of a Brave New World of technical paradigm shifts.

This dude’s name is Hartmut Neven. Remember it, cuz this guy is what Jim Morrison would look like if he’d been a nuclear physicist.

Marginalized? Nuclear Bunker Timeshares Might Be the Answer

Friends, do you command vast resources in your rural community? Are you a member of the spiritual elite, eager to bring your family safely through the Second Coming of Our Lord and Saviour?

Why waste your financial resources setting up your own bunker, when you can share the burden with your fellow national elites?

Makes me feel a little animosity to the working class that support movements like the Tea Party. You say you don’t like big government, yet you obviously want to pay for it more than you want the rich to… You know what? You’re going to wind up paying a larger portion of the rich’s tax burden. Go ahead and elect representatives who are going to shift the tax base to the bottom end of the income spectrum (and take more of your money). You want big government? You deserve it. You want insane medical policy that hurts your children? It’s yours. You long for suicidal foreign wars? Enjoy. You bought the ticket. Enjoy the ride.

You go ahead and pick up the check.

The income tax on Social Security caps at $90,000 a year. The guy who makes that much pays twice as much as the guy who makes half as much. Seem fair?

That’s the end of the excess burden to pay for SS.

After that, it levels out. No income over $90k gets taxed for Social Security.

WTF is up with that?

U.S. Says Genes Should Not Be Eligible for Patenting – NYTimes.com

Finally, some good news. This issue affects all of us, and it relates to both intellectual property law and biomedical ethics.

So, yay.

Reversing a longstanding policy, the federal government said on Friday that human and other genes should not be eligible for patents because they are part of nature.

Enterprise Wardriving, by Google

You know, this picture makes me realize that the camera mount would make a really good spot to place a high gain antenna. If I were Google and I were doing this, I wouldn’t tell anyone about it either.

…the cars weren’t supposed to be collecting any of the data that passed over the networks…

LOL. How’s that now? You accidentally a coca cola bottle?
